Women’s History Month
“I have a confession to make. I do not know a lot about history and that includes anything that has to do with Women’s history month. I am however grateful for all the things women have done in the past that made it possible for life now to be the way it is. I can’t imagine having to go through a struggle to overcome oppression and the women who did have to go through things like that and to be looked upon as heroes.
Even women now, who are CEO’s of corporations, housewives, etc. they should all be given respect. All women do something that affects the world. Every woman is important.” AC

Women’s Rights
“Today I was watching the Tyra show… The topic of the show was about women who were happy and satisfied being single with no kids at an older age. It just so happens it’s women’s rights month and in today’s world women have gotten more independent than ever. For the first 30 minutes of the show they had a debate of married women and non-married women. Some women in the show stated that a woman needed to be married with a spouse and kids. She proclaimed that the bible made it clear that women were only made for making babies and to be the care giver while the man becomes the provider. While the other side of the room (non-married) proclaimed that they are fine by themselves making their own money, and are happy not married, or not with kids. I think that it’s great that women love themselves and don’t feel pressured or obligated to get married very fast because of how society will think of you. It shows we are more independent than ever.” DG

“Since I was a little girl, I’ve learned about so many different influential women and what they’ve done to change the world for the better; Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller and Rosa Parks to name a few. These women have done amazing things that have impacted the world, such as fighting for equality and defying all odds while still making a difference. While all of these women deserve a round of applause and much more, the woman that has influenced me the most is not a woman that you’ll find in any history text book. She’s not a woman that has any distinguished awards, she’s not even a woman that asks for any recognition at all. She is the most selfless person I know, working night shifts at the hospital from 7 in the evening until 7 in the morning. She works hard but spends no money on herself. She is a woman who puts her family before everything in the world. She is a woman that, although not famous or recognized, receives praise from all that know her, and that woman is my mom. Even though she is not known by millions of people as a life changing woman, my mom is influential and an important woman in my life. She taught me that it is better to give than to receive, that it is important to put family first, and to never take anything for granted. My mom is strong and loving and the mother I hope to be someday. My mom is no superhero, but she is my superhero and for women’s history month this year, I’m going to think of my mom, along with Rosa Parks and Helen Keller, and I’m going to be thankful that there are people like these great women to guide us all.” JD
